“Favorite Lodging: Tortuga Beach Resort.” Southern Living.

Here’s what’s great about Tortuga Beach Resort: It’s easy to get to. It’s located on Anna Maria Island, a rare, unspoiled island with vintage charm – totally unpretentious – the kind of place that sweeps you off your feet without even trying with its natural beauty and easy pace. The private white sand beach, located just across the street from the resort, is sprinkled with seashells & views of sea life such as dolphins & manatees. Beach chairs are provided on the beach so you can relax and enjoy the gorgeous pale jade water of the Gulf of Mexico and unbelievably beautiful Suncoast sunsets. There are three heated pools & a boat dock for our guests.

Wow is a word actually used by one of our guests – “All I can says is WOW! Awesome job! I will return very soon.”

There are many reasons why he would have that reaction from the stylish Tortuga Gardens individually owned condominiums, or the views over Sarasota Bay and the Intra-Coastal Waterway from the Bayfront Villas South and North (with their semi-private spa and heated swimming pool), or the tropic charm of the Palm Court South and North Apartments, or maybe even one of the Gulf View Studios with Jacuzzi tubs & views of the indescribable sunsets.

There's a place for you at Tortuga.

We invite you to make your own “wow” moment and enjoy our wonderful accommodations, the white sand beaches with endless birds & sea life. This is the place you’re dreaming of – the place you want to run away to right NOW for a relaxing getaway – or for a family reunion, wedding, honeymoon, or other special event. We are even pet friendly in certain units.

Check out our web pages. Explore the six unique buildings and find the place in our friendly little Paradise that’s absolutely right for you.

Laid-back Anna Maria Island

On our famously laid-back little island, you’ll find wonderful restaurants and shops, as well as water sports facilities, boat rentals and charters – with golf and tennis not far away. Street fairs, craft shows and musical events are held frequently – take the popular free trolley that runs the length of the island from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. If you love wild life, you’re in for a treat – wonderful wild shorebirds like pelicans, blue herons, oystercatchers and many others – like the bubblegum-pink roseate spoonbills show up everywhere, as do dolphins and the occasional manatee. Loggerhead turtles deposit their eggs on Anna Maria from May through November and, if you’re lucky, you could see a mama turtle making her way across the sand—but please don’t disturb her as she may become disoriented.

ABOUT OUR RATES

Our weekly rates also do not include taxes or other fees, or the departure-cleaning fee. The Weekly Rates are based on the Vacation Rental Model for condominiums as these are privately owned condominiums. To keep our rates as low as possible, the Weekly Rates do not include daily housekeeping services. We furnish the condo with basic supplies to get you started, and then, for the duration of your stay, you provide your own supplies & amenities (except for toilet paper, which we will leave a large supply for your use). Most of our guests prefer this arrangement and appreciate the savings. However, for your comfort and convenience, optional housekeeping services are available upon request. Please ask for details when you book your reservation. All Daily Weekly rates are subject to change without notice. Discounts may not be combined.

BOAT DOCK

Tortuga offers boat slips for rent on our private dock, located in Sarasota Bay directly off the Intra-Coastal Waterway. Additional fees and taxes apply – please ask for details when you make your reservation. The dock has a 3-ft. draft at low tide and can accommodate boats from 10 ft. to 12 ft. wide. (Dredging is not allowed, as the shoreline is a protected habitat for manatees.) Water and electricity are available on the dock. Parking for your boat trailer is also available on the property in specific locations – please inquire at the front desk when you check in. If you have a larger boat than we can accommodate, plan to anchor it at the Bridge Street Pier mooring field, and then rent a Tortuga slip for your tender. Or dock your boat at a nearby marina – there are several on Anna Maria Island and across the Bay in the fishing village of Cortez.

OTHER INFORMATION

In units with full kitchens (most of them), we also provide pots and pans and other cooking utensils - all the basics you´ll need to prepare your meals. There´s a good Publix Supermarket on the Island just five minutes away, with fresh produce, meat and fish, as well as good cheeses, take-out items, and a fairly complex choice of wines. There are also a few convenience stores and many wonderful restaurants within walking distance of Tortuga. If you like, ditch the gas-guzzler and take the free Island Trolley, which runs from one end of the Island to the other at 20-minute intervals between 6:00 AM and 10:30 PM.
